Is there any desktop that does this?

I really like Firefox Beta's new "Panorama" feature. It has a button that when clicked, shows groups of tabs as boxes that you can move around and rename. You can also see previews of the pages in the group.

I wonder if there is anything like this for virtual desktops? It seems much nicer and more organized than just having numbered desktops and buttons to switch them.

I don't have the new firefox but as far as I understand what you do, KDE offers something like it at least from version 4.4.4 onwards.

It works thanks to Compiz Fusion, and you can make many good looking Gui changes to your Desktop.
The Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 has those effects in Gnome.

Not even close.

I'm thinking the closest thing you're gonna get to that is window grouping with Compiz. I don't know of anything that lets you "group" desktops...

I think I saw that GNOME Shell allows to to create and delete desktops on the fly, instead of having a pre-set amount.

Does it let you delete *any* desktop you want, or just the last one?
